Subject: Create an Alien!

With B.B. gone, the passion of Bungie.net has lessened.

Time for some creative and artistic skills to surface.

I've noticed that there are quite a few talented artists on these forums... And I've also noticed that, in Science Fiction, the creativity that comes with it is limitless (same goes for Fantasy). So hear's a nice creative thing to do.

This is not a contest, but rather just a fun little thread in which people can design an alien of their own (create it by sculpting, building, drawing, painting, MS Painting, then scan it in (if its not in your computer to begin with), and submit it to a hosting site, and post the link here).

Be creative. Have fun with it. You can even think up of some background info on your alien (I encourage it, but if you don't want to, no big deal). Be original. No knock-offs of aliens that have already been designed (especially Grays, since they are so commonly used.... And I really don't like them (they scare the crap out of me, honestly)). Also, I suggest you break away from any "humanoid" designs.... Star Trek did that a little too much (most aliens looked the same.... save for a few pointy ears here and fore-head ridges there). Make them monsterous, powerful, mysterious, tall, short, skinny, fat, ugly, beautiful, serene, angelic (but don't do angels... that's already been done), demonic, good, or evil... its your choice. And most importantly, be mature... don't name your alien(s) things like Poopmeisters.... The names are possibly the funnest part of this, since you can use anything... names like H'Kwynazyne are fun to think up of...

Like I said, its not a contest, but you can voice your opinion on who's is the best. I'd stay away from naming certain ones the "worst." Don't say things like, "that sucks." If you're going to criticize, do it constructively. Give pointers to people on how to make their creations a little better.

Also, don't completely try to make realism a huge factor. If you want it to have wings, but you know that in reality such a thing would never be able to fly, that doesn't matter... wings can make something look cool. If you want them, go for it.

I won't be submitting anything until I get my scanner up and running... so don't expect anything from me for a while....

And unless this becomes stickied (hint, hint, Mods :-) ), I suggest that all of you who are interested in this bookmark the thread so you can access it easily once your creation is finished.

I sure hope this thread continues... I'm excited about seeing some interesting things here.... And if great artists like Atsumi join in, then I know some of the aliens will definitely be aestheticly pleasing (even if the aliens are ugly).

Grays are the tall, gray, big black eyes, big head, long skinny finger stereotype of aliens.

On hosting sites, there's usually a feature that says "upload file" or something, in which you find the file (picture) of your alien on your computer, and you upload it, and it then creates a website for it. You then copy and paste the url to that website here, and hopefully, we'll be able to see it (errors do occur).

I had an idea for an alien for a game. First they start out kinda small then the absorb a different creature like lets say a bull they increase in size and get horns. Then they absorb a bear or something and get incredible strong, or a snake so they get like fangs and venom. Like whatever animal you can think of they can absorb. So if they absorb a gunie pig then they get real small and are easy to kill. So they just take traits from different things and then theres no two are the same. Then they also upgrade the natural abilities with technology like a built in gun or cybernetic limbs. Idn if this ideas been used before.
